Eth0 does not seem to be present.....It is.

ok. I take it you dont have AIM.

I can't speak for others, but in my case it's more the dislike of
your attitude than the lack of other means of communication.

People here come to LQ in their own time, they're not being
payed, and are trying to be helpful and nice. You're honouring
that with haste, ungratefulness and a demanding attitude. Doesn't
go down too well, not with me.

Cheers,
Tink

I'm sorry. I'm a dumbass. This linux problem has been bothering me ALOT. I'm really sorry for being such a dick. I just need help.

I do not have AIM

ifconfig does not show an eth0 so the output of lspci will help. I am assuming the ethernet card is integrated into the motherboard and that it has an nforce chipset? What type of motherboard do you have?

If so you will need to download the unified driver.

Asus motherboard. I'm pretty sure. I know I have a pheonix chipset.

godzilla_roar20 · 07-21-2004, 10:03 PM

i am currently not using linux on THIS computer. how would I be able to send you my lspci without copying it word for word? It's really long.

michaelk · 07-21-2004, 10:08 PM

The required info can be gathered from the following command:

lspci | grep Ethernet

Remember that linux is case sensitive. The | is a pipe command and usually located on the same key as the backward slash key i.e. \

I will only be able to help you for another 30 minutes or so.

godzilla_roar20 · 07-21-2004, 10:12 PM

then i'll work fast

godzilla_roar20 · 07-21-2004, 10:13 PM

Ok

eithernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)

thanks man. you're being a real saint for me. you're saving my life

godzilla_roar20 · 07-21-2004, 10:20 PM

did i give you the right Info?

michaelk · 07-21-2004, 10:20 PM

It is looking like you need to install the Nvidia unified driver. What is the model number of your motherboard?

godzilla_roar20 · 07-21-2004, 10:22 PM

is there a command to find that out?

michaelk · 07-21-2004, 10:32 PM

Not that I know of. Its available during the POST when you boot up.

AFAIK Phoenix is the BIOS manufacture not a chipset.

godzilla_roar20 · 07-21-2004, 10:39 PM

if pheonix is the chipset,, then its an asus a7n8x-x motherboard

michaelk · 07-21-2004, 10:45 PM

Gotta run. Check Asus's website.
